<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Darker Colors for Coziness
According to Amy Wax, author of "Can't Fail Color Schemes," color can "visually tie together all the elements, materials and surfaces of the room." After considering these factors, pick a dark-colored granite to make the kitchen feel cozy. A dark color with reddish gold tones, such as Coffee Brown or Magic Brown, will complement cherry cabinets.
On the Other: Lighter Colors for Airiness
Lighter-colored granite can help the room to look airy, therefore making it feel more expansive. After taking into consideration everything else in the room, a light granite with warm undertones may best match cherry cabinets; consider Cotton Bahia or Juparana Fantastico.
Bottom Line
While many granite colors will match cherry cabinets, take all other elements of the room into consideration before making a final color selection. If a more intimate feeling is desired, choose a darker-colored granite. If an airy feeling is deemed ideal, select a lighter color.
